Nelson Admiral Tupper, son of Thomas Tupper III and Philanda Tupper, was born on 17 February 1817 in Sharon, Connecticut and died in about 1879 in Primrose, Iowa. Nelson resided in Connecticut and moved to Ohio with his parents in 1836. He married Lorena Judith Lockwood on 10 December 1839 in Coventry Township, Portage County, Ohio (Coventry Township is now located in Summit County, established in 1840). Lorena was born on 28 September 1822 in Stockholm, New York, the daughter of Amos Lockwood and Zerviah Rugg Bemis. Lorena died on 9 July 1907 in Cameron, Idaho (she was living with her son Howard, in the 1900 census, see below). Nelson and his father, Thomas Tupper, are both listed in the 1840 Federal Census of Randolph Township, Portage County, Ohio. I have not located Nelson and Lorena in the 1850 census.
